10 Billion Interstellar Kredits for a GTX560! Sounds like the galaxy is suffering from hyperinflation...On a more serious not, this is a pretty interesting idea for those that play mmo's (not me, although I still find it interesting).

Those who know how to make money and are good at the game could probably buy GTX 680, would just it would take alot longer of course.

I can do the same in WoW. But rather easily if I was going to get back into it. Get to 85 then another 80 with scroll of resurrection. Run heroics to get decent entry level raiding gear, get back into Hardcore raiding, deck out on gear and possibly rare achievements and have decent amount of Gold and boom $200 with ease.

A actually account that has history from TBC to WOTLK both Arena and Raid achievements with good up to date gear and decent gear can go up from £200, just depends on what you have on your Char and how many across the account.

The major difference about EVE is that it has really perfect economy design.
You as a player can climb to higher levels, fame and fortune but there is always a risk that you will fall and loose everything. Also to stay in the game You need to buy or produce real things like fuel, ammunition and other consumables. This makes team work essential.

In team battles players loose starships, bases and even character's attributes. That is a real thing to feel the loss of precious things. Makes You feel the game's world more vivid and true. To avoid being eaten by any bigger fish players must form corporations. And even that is not enough so corporations must form alliances to protect its members. This is very strong community.

In games like WoW a player is constantly being rewarded. You dont ever looose a single thing. You climb without any restrictions. Its more like a cheat game

So if You like "cheating" in games you play WoW & clones.
But if You like to be challenged you choose EVE.

EVE online was quite fun but the thing that killed it for me was the endlessly repettitve mission grinding to gain standing with agents. I wouldnt mind if the missions were quite different but really they weren't at all. And if you want to get money as a new player you have to work your way up through these. It's really quite a chore imo.

When I finally DID get to some PvP it was incredibly exciting. Really got my heart rate going.

I prefer other MMOs though, ones where you can just jump straight into some PvP without a shedload of prep and the risk of loosing loads (although I imagine this element makes it way more exciting).
